Presidium, identifiable with ruins at
Henchir-Somâa in present-day
Tunisia, is an ancient episcopal seat of the
Roman province of
Byzacena. There are two
bishops known from this diocese. • The Leonatist a
Donatist, who took part in the
Carthage conference of 411, which brought together the Catholic and Donatist bishops of
Roman North Africa. • Fausto attended the
synod gathered in Carthage by the
Vandal king
Huneric in 484, after which Fausto was exiled. Today, Presidio survives as a
titular see; the current titular bishop is
Roger William Gries, former
auxiliary bishop of
Cleveland.
